      Pros

      The benefits at Microsoft are fantastic. There are also some of the smartest people I've ever met working there. Its fun to get to interact with so many type "A" personalities, as everyone is very driven, and you don't have a ton of slackers.

      Cons

      Because there are so many type "A" people, its very hard to distinguish yourself. You can work harder than you've ever worked in your life, and there is more than likely someone else who has worked harder, or done more. People eat, sleep, breath Microsoft 24/7. Sometimes it feels a bit cultish.

      Good place to learn, growing to the top is tricky.

      Pros

      Ability to drive ones own career. If you have an idea, and passion, you can normally evolve that within Microsoft. I've never heard no from my management. Surprisingly so. If you're willing to learn, if you want to dive into something without a ton of direction, Microsoft is the place to do this.

      Cons

      Upper management (VPs, GMs) are often quite political and turf focused - to the detriment of the customer and the peons below. I'm not convinced our salaries are on par for the industry.
